We wrapped up our workshop with this encouragement:
â¤ď¸ Take inventory of your heart before the holidays.
Itâs Christmas week. You might be excited for whatâs aheadâor already feeling drained. You might be looking forward to the holidayâor carrying sadness, stress, or heaviness.
And sometimes the hardest part is holding all of those emotions at once⌠joy and sorrow, anticipation and anxiety, gratitude and grief. â¤ď¸đâ¨
No matter where you find yourself, you are not alone.
Take a moment to reflect on the questions in the graphic and head into the holiday with a clearer sense of how to care for yourselfâand how to make space for what matters most.
Feel free to list some of your answers in the comments...we'd love to hear from you!

This holiday season, give yourself permission to recharge.
đTip 3 from our workshop encourages simple, sustainable self-care practices like:
⢠Slowing down your schedule
⢠Take a real break.
⢠Spending time with someone who brings peace, not pressure
⢠Creating a 5-minute breathing or prayer routine
⢠Go for a brisk walk or run
Small acts of care create space for clarity, calm, and joy.

Holiday perfection is overratedâTip 2 is all about learning to let things be.
Your house doesnât have to be spotless, your schedule doesnât have to be full, and you donât have to carry the weight of every expectation.
đA few things to practice this season:
⢠Choose what matters most, and let the rest fall away
â˘Allow plans to change without guilt
⢠Let âgood enoughâ truly be enough
⢠Ask for help instead of pushing through
Remember, when you let go of the ideal, you make more room for JOY! And everyone needs a little more of that in their lives! đŤś

Mental Health Matters đ
When individuals receive the support they need, communities thrive.
The World Health Organization found that every $1 invested in mental health treatment results in $4 in improved health and productivity.

Accessible counseling doesnât just help one personâit strengthens families, stabilizes workplaces, and builds healthier neighborhoods.
Your partnership helps ensure that care is within reach for those who need it most.
Would you consider making a year end gift to NLCC?
Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday for our "Thriving During the Holidays" workshop at the Lighthouse Youth Center Weâre truly grateful for the Oxford Area Chamber of Commerce for partnering with us, and to Landhope Farms for brightening the morning with coffee and donuts.
If you couldnât make it, weâll be sharing the key takeaways next weekâwe believe theyâre absolutely worth passing along.
One participant shared, âIâve never looked at the holidays through this lens. You get used to the hustle and bustle and become a robot. Todayâs topic encouraged me to make a conscious shift.â
Thatâs exactly our hope: that our community doesnât just make it through the holiday season, but finds ways to flourish in it.
And stay tuned in 2026 as we partner with the chamber for four more Business Person Workshops offered throughout the year.
Because mental health mattersâin every season. đ

We are so excited to tell you about the start of a great endevor benefitting our community. Members of the Christian Life Center in Lincoln University recognized a growing need for mental health services in Southern Chester County and wanted to find a way make counseling available to the entire community. Pastor Joshua Roberts from the Christian Life Center invited Dr. Katie Bowman to join this mission, and the New London Counseling Center (NLCC) was born.
The NLCC is now accepting appointments with office space provided by the Christan Life Center while our permanent location continues rennovation! We have dedicated licensed clinicians bringing their diverse experiences and specialties to our team. We look forward to providing individual, couples, family, and group therapy to people of all ages. The NLCC also plans to host workshops and collaborate with local businesses and agencies to provide education about mental health topics. Our goal is to create a culture that promotes mental well-being and destigmatizes therapy. We acknowledge that we are all broken, and we can all benefit from professional support at one time or another.
Renovations are underway for the NLCC to permanently operate out of a grand home built in the 1850s with a rich history. It is nestled in historic New London Village. The property boasts a working farm sprawled over eight acres. It houses a barn, silo and airplane hangar that once operated as the New London Airport over several decades. Today, the former landing strip has been returned to farm land.
Dr. Bowman and the founding Board of Directors (Joshua Roberts, Michael Woodin, and Joyce Ross) put together the organizationâs guiding plan. Through fundraising and grants, The New London Counseling Center strives to provide care to all who need it and not turn anyone away due to financial reasons. The Christian Life Center has been, and will continue to be, a generous community partner for this new organization!
As of December 2018, New London Counseling Center is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. 83-2796221
